Maryland Republicans

BALTIMORE. Md, August A.-The
State Convention of the Republican
party to nominate candidates for gov
ernor, comptroller and attorney
general met in this city at 100 O'Clock.
A temporary organization was effected
and the committees on permanent
organization and resolutions were ap-
pointed, after which recess was taken to
afford time to report.
The platform demands radical re-
form in the civil service, and that the

of the difference between capital and
labor; for the passage of a law protect

the platform deals with local questions.
The following nominations were
made: For governor. W. B. BROOKS I;
Comptroller, r. B. Bixton; attorney

After the nominations were made, J.

Tho Cotton Trade

MAEcHEsrEs, England, August "a
The Guardians commercial article says
Although the market has presented q
generally firm appearance, the tone ha
been fat. The reason Tor this is evil
dent. Buyers have found that despite
short crops of cotton in the past two or
three years the supply of cloth has al
WAYS been sufficient, and that efforts to
raise prices on the strength of reports
of insufficient crops have usually
proved failures. The market is more
than ever dependent upon the condi-
ton at distribution centres. Yarn gen
orally is quiet. Exporters have placed
few orders. The home demand is poor.
Buyers are increasing in caution. Cloth
is steady. The inquiry for India is
rather lessening than increasing. There
is little inquiry for good China, mer-
chants having bought rather freely.
The better makes of shifting and sheet
ings are in moderate inquiry. For
higher grades of printing and other
finishing cloths prices are weaker
Common and medium steady; demand

Don't Like Dickinson

OMAHA, August 22.-The locomotive
engineers of the Union Pacific road are
said to be indignant at the arbitrary
conduct of General Superintendent
Dickinson, whom, they claim, has
for years, while superintendent of
the western division, been an
tagonistic to their order and invariably
waging war against them. His recent
promotion to the general superinten-
dency has engendered feeling among
the brotherhood which will probably
hamper Mr.. Potter's admins tration
as long as the present organiza-
ton of that particular department
exists. An instance is cited wherein
an engineer from one of the western
divisions who had served the company
some fifteen years got into some trivial
trouble and came to Omaha to explain
his side of the case. He met the general
superintendent upon the street and
told him he had come to Omaha to ex-
plain matters in his case, whereupon
he was informed by the official that he
wanted nothing to do with him or his
troubles. The engineer has been dis
charged and blacklisted," and
that settled it. The engineer in ques-
Cl0n repeated his SIOTy Will IedIS IL
his eyes and said he had big family
to support, and at least expected kind
treatment by the officials. He returned
home very much discouraged. An
other instance: A few days since the
order of railway conductors decided
to have a grand picnic at Fremont.
Their committee waited on the
general superintendent, so it is said,
rQnnnafn6 nQESAnQ6r
coaches for their party to Fremont and
return. They were informed that
they could have some of the emigrant
cars known as ''low bellies" This rather
incensed the members of the order,
and it is said they have decided not to
accept the emigrant cars, and resent
the insult by making their trip to Ere
mont via Blair, over the Fremont &
Elkhorn Valley road. which company
very kindly placed at their disposal a
special train of first-class coaches.

coast, but the hearing was gu6denIY
precipitated last Wednesday before
Judge Field, and notwithstznd-
ing the fact that the Presi :
dent had telegraphed the commission
to employ counsel, it was not able to
do on account of the short notice.
Senator Stanford argued that the SEN

swer all the questions propcunded by
the commission, inasmuch as Congress
couldL u delegate its iDqu:sitorial powers

the further reason that government

company until the maturity OF the

San Francisco Wheat. .

SAN FRANCISCO, August A.-The local
wheat market continues to be as great
an enigma as at any time since the clos
ing of call board on August LIST. Values
continue to steadily decline with very
slight outward trading or signs of ex-
element. After cessation of bust
ness for nineteen days, the call board
resumed its sessions last Monday morn
ing. Operators were timid in putting
out wheat options, and business was
almost nominal the first day. There
was but one seller, 1887, contract
recorded. theprice being AZ per GENITAL.
At the morning session on Tuesday
there were three sales of 100
tons each at range of LA @ Las.
The morning figures for like options
ranged from $1.371x at the opening to
$l.35X at the close, showing q decline OF
about 50 per ton in a single day. In the
afternoon not single trade was re-
corded; the highest price offered was
81 80, with offerings at $1.35. Despite
this great break in prices, no failures
are reported, although the fact is well
established that the holdings OF wheat
by a former "bull" clique are enor-
nous, but there is no sign of theil
weakening their hold upon the grain
purchased at figures varying from $1.7(
up to 81 Tx.
John W. Mackay, who has been fire.
quently named as chief holder of the
wheat, will make no public statement
beyond reiterating what he declared .
few days ago, namely, that he has nc
personal interest of any character in the
wheat market.
Traders generally claim that wheat is
now about on foreign shipping basis
though bear traders claim that the
price will have to drop to about $1.2
per GENITAL for shipment to Liverpool.
